little, old Hebrew who haunts the

der his arm dirty canvas bag and
armed with short crooked stick,
with which he pokes among the rub
bish in the ash-barrels and cutters.
He is not after rags, as one might sup
pose, but, il watched carefully will be
seen to collect every scrap Of tobacco
in the shape of cigar and cigarette
stumps that he can find and deposit
them in the canvas bag. He lives in
q dirty side street off the Bowery, In a
miserable little room, which reeks
with the odor of half-burned tobacco.
After a days work he will have a
good-sized heap of stumps piled in one
corner. A dirty boy sorts the snipes,
as they are called, strips them, and
the tobacco Is washed and then dried
near the fire. The pieces are again
sorted and arc then ready for sale.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANY OUS.
TRUTH VS.. FICTION.


The Former Sometimes stranger Than tho
Latter.
Young Joe, as the gentle peruser will ind,
Was a truly remarkable youth.
To the faults OF a friend he was frequently
blind
To a chum in distress he was wonderfully kind ;
He possessed many virtues OF heart and OF
mind,
But, alas, was a stranger to truth
II was sad that being OF promise so fair,
Should be In performance so shady.
His acquaintances yielded him up in despair.
But one, though entreated and warned 10 be-
ware,
Too soon was entrapped in the horrible snare;
The victim was radiant romantic and rare,
A guileless and trustiul young lady.
When he told her an owl was three-leg ged
snake,
Whose roar many miles could be heard
She swallowed the serpent with never quake,
While deeply deploring her stupid mistake
That the owl was beautiful bird.
He spoke OF his love. and her violet eyes
In sweetest embarrassment fell
The stories he told were OF fabulous size,
But she saw not the hend in the angels guisc,
Believed as the truth every one OF his lies,
And rang not the chestnut bell.
do you know I'm POET" he asked her one
day;
"And that an hired by the week,
To rattle on rhymes in the orthodox way
On skies that are blue, and on flowers that IRE

He was truthful as last, tits q pleasure TO say,
But his Claribel shivered in direful dismay,
And the color deserted her cheek
"why darling what is itr he whispered SO
low:
At last the fair damsel spoke,
While the smiles came to her visage OF woe,

Nut I think-now you mustn't be cross with me,

pressive was his story that Il will be
best to adopt his language here.
Il parted from Matilda when we
were both young, loving her most de-
votedly, and filed with the ambition TO
make fortune for her. The hope of
coming back rich and making her my

dreary twenty years. And ! never

not deceived as to myself; I knew well
enough that was no longer the young
man of twenty-four who had parted
with Matilda; but never could bring
myself to think of her as any other
than the beautiful creature of twenty
two with whom I had exchanged vows.
Strange as this delusion was, it had
complete possession of me.

shock of surprise and disappointment

so married her out of duty, with
out affections; and then occurred the
grandest thing of all. That peerless
woman won me completely; she recre-
ated a love for her in my breast, CON-
pared with which my boyish passion
was feeble flame. All, how often /
thanked Heaven that l had been
restrained from casting away that
precious jewel in my blind, head
strong ignorance! Sometimes I have
thought that she must have known
how halted and wavered in those
days before we were married. indeed,
after what you have told me, am
now sure that it must have been so; but
she never mentioned it. Three years
of rare happiness we lived together; I
almost idolized her; shall never be

W.
Such was his strange confession.
You may be sure resolved that Maria
should never know word Of It; but
fate was against me- A month after
my return home she happened to make
mention of Matilda Alling, and won
derod what had become of her and her
husband. I have not the least COM
mand of my countenance when she is
looking at me. and on this occasion it
betrayed me at once. She instantly
accused me of learning something
about them, and suppressing it. 4 The
result was that she then and there
learned the sequel of the story. o.
And how she did exult over me.
Metaphorically I may say that I was
knocked down and trampled upon.
After some sarcastic filings (Which /
told her were quite ungentlemanly) d.
rected chiefly at the dull perceptions
of men in general, she wound up with
the assertion: But how spendidly
that man has behaved! He is one In a
million. If there were more like him
we poor women would have some
chance. He is really A MODEL MAN"

If something is not done, two of the re-
naming three will run dry within the
next ten days. Some Of the dry springs
might be cleaned out and made TO run
again. The mayor suggested that the
dams, every one, should be taken
out. Kateyer said he had heard
that the water works reservoir was over
flowing and the water had been turned
into the SaladO. Degener said he knew
it. He had seen &c. There was ditch
running from the reservoir to the Salado.
He had found an S-inoh main had been
laid from the reservoir across the Aus
tin road into a pasture, which he thought
was Mr.. BrackenrIdge's. From the pipe
a ditch had been run to the Salado. The
water flowed through two or three OF
the majors pastures and finally emptled
in the SaladO or the Menger creek. The
city had twice put in culverts, rs 1t was
thought, to carry OFF the overflow, but
now ii seems they were only assisting
Mr.. Breckenridge to irrigate his pas
lures at the expense of water consumers
who pay for the privilege OF using this
water belonging to the bitches. Quite
a sensation WAS caused by Alderman
Degener's expose of MIR. b., and the al

matter was referred to the police COM
